FUNCTIONAL MEDICINE/PRIMARY CARE VISITS:
First Appointment is when we will review your medical history, review any records you have, discuss your symptoms, problems, concerns, etc. We will order appropriate diagnostic testing (labs, imaging, etc).
Second Appointment is when we will review all the testing and correlate with your symptoms. Our treatment plans are very unique "to the person" and we engage our patients in the decision making process. Depending on what we discover and what the treatment plan is, will determine what type of follow up schedule we recommend.
ACUPUNCTURE/TCM VISITS:
First appointment is when a thorough examination is completed. We will review your medical history and discuss your symptoms and concerns. A customized treatment protocol will be discussed and you will receive treatment the same day. Be sure you have eaten, are hydrated and that you are wearing comfortable clothing. Treatment modalities include: acupuncture, needle-less acupuncture, Tui Na massage, Gua Sha, electrical stimulation (with or without needles), herbal therapy, infrared therapy and more.
Second and subsequent appointments involve follow up, continued treatments or adjustments to treatments.
WEIGHT LOSS PROGRAM
Our weight loss program is managed by our nurse practitioner. The first visit will be your consult. If you are ready to begin the program, you can get started right away! Your medical history will be reviewed, lifestyle and goals will be analyzed and then the types of medications (or natural) options will be discussed. You must have recent labs and in some cases, a cleared EKG before beginning the program.
You will meet with the nurse practitioner monthly and she will adjust your individualized weight loss plan; medication refills are also provided. After you have been on the plan for about 3 months, in most cases you can opt to follow up every 3 months rather than monthly. Please read more about our weight loss program by CLICKING HERE.
